The Moons (commission )

Just did this commission for a new friend with ties to my home town and to the Pekin Art Show.. It was a joy to do.  My blog will be resting for a couple of months as I am flying to the west coast for a couple of months.. will take some of my art supplies along.. 

Framed the little wranglers

They look kinda snazzy in their white frames.  I want them arranged differently but "oh well"  lucky i can do this much on this blog.  I'm thinking about doing some more ART...  it is taking awhile to get used to not having Carl around to do my framing..  He was a handy bugger......................

BAAAD Angora and baby.. Gifted

I painted this @ the art thingy also. I had a photo of a bunch of angora goats and picked out these two, 'cause the baby was so cute. I attempted to make the back ground really dark, using several colors and my juicey paint. I like it a lot. Gifted

Art @ the Lake #7

Friend, Bobbie, and I attended the Art @ the Lake workshop again this year.  It is a wonderful get-away with friends, good food, wonderful art instruction, beautiful scenery .. what more can you ask for??  I will not try to explain these 2 paintings but they tell a story and were fun.

Garden Commission done

I painted this for a friend of my son, Matt, who is from Portland OR.  It was fun, especially loved the funky pots and vases.  As you who know me, flowers are not my strong suit, but this is colorful and he liked it.  One month ago today, my sweet hubbie, Carl, passed away and i'm not sure about my future "art" life..  I did attend a painting weekend with my friends and it helped...  will post things soon from it.. 

"Little Wranglers w Large Hats"

I haven't painted for 2 months.. i just painted these 3 acrylics from a sketch i had done a while ago.. Is it a Series? a Triptych? a Trio? the colors match my Pendelton blanket which is kinda weird.

Red River Fine Art Show.. extraordinaire..

I so enjoyed exhibiting my art in our first Fine ARt Show @ the Moorhead Center Mall, last week.
